sleepover!

Ellie’s sleepover:
Ellie had a GREAT time at her friend, Hannah’s last night. She was a champ, giggling herself to sleep until she fell out of bed in the middle of the night with a loud “thump.” Prompting Hannah’s daddy to line the side of the bed with couch cushions, just in case. Now she is asking when she can go back. And for longer next time, please.

Gracie’s sleepover:
Gracie and I had our own special evening, just the two of us. I can’t remember the last time we had some time to ourselves like that. She’s getting so much fun. She chit-chatted all through dinner about princesses and movies and toys and puppies and this and that.  We ended out time out with a trip to the new ice cream shop that opened up next to Trader Joe’s. And the bite I had of Gracie’s violently pink strawberry ice cream with sprinkles was very, very yum. Then we came home and watched a movie, had bathtime and she got to sleep in Mommy’s bed. Boy was that a treat.
For her, I mean. I got to go to bed at 9pm, listen to her cough every 15 seconds all night and have Cinderella, Baby, two puppies, 3 blankeys, 2 books along with Grace join me last night. It was a tad crowded.  Especially since Grace likes to sleep sideways. (In her own bed, too.) And I got woken up at 2:39am because she had a booger.
But she had fun and didn’t miss Ellie too much.
